lans for two complexes that would bring over 600 new apartments along the eastern edge of Ahwatukee advanced in separate city and county actions last week. The Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Committee on Jan. 23 voted 6-2 to recommend Phoenix Planning Commis-
sion approval tomorrow, Feb. 2, of a rezoning request that would pave the way for six buildings housing 417 units on 50th Street near Thistle Landing Drive between Ray Road and Chandler Boulevard. Meanwhile, a Scottsdale developer asked the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to allow it to convert the Four Points by Sheraton Phoenix South Mountain site at 51st Street and Elliot Road into an apartment building and added adjacent buildings
that would bring 184 to 188 apartments to a nearly 8-acre site. In both cases, the complexes would produce “highly amenitized” complexes aimed at high-income tenants, according to developers Everest Holdings and P.B. Bell, which are seeking approval of the 50th Street project from the city, and Caliber Development, which wants to transform the 8-acre hotel see

he companies that built most of the homes in Club West never promised anyone who bought a house there that they would always have a golf course as the centerpiece of their community and expressly advised them the 164-acre site could one day be used for some other kind of development. That assertion was made last week by a quintet of lawyers representing course owner The Edge as it attacked the Club West Conservancy’s request for a court order to permanently ban home construction on any part of the site. see
